Tasting Notes

The 2022 Chasing Venus has bright aromas of grapefruit, lime zest and freshly mown grass. The flavors are a lively explosion of lemon-lime, grapefruit, basil and a touch of tropical fruit sweetness. Crisp, clean and expansive all at once, this wine is a delightful aperitif. It also pairs well with fresh oysters, shrimp ceviche or lettuce wraps.

Vineyard Notes

The vineyard source for Chasing Venus Sauvignon Blanc has been consistent from year to year. The 2022 is a blend of 65% Mclean and 35% Comely Bank; two family farms in the acclaimed Marlborough appellation where the free-draining soils and the long, cool growing season enhance the varietal citrus aromas and bright fruit flavors.
